What is rosehip oil?
Rosehip oil, also known as rosehip seed oil comes from the rosa canina rose bush, which is grown mostly in Chile. It is pressed from the fruit and seeds of the rose plant.
Rosehip oil is loaded with skin-nourishing vitamins and essential fatty acids.
Rosehip oil is often used as a carrier oil for essential oils which are too strong to put on your skin directly.
Rosehip oil can work as a great natural alternative for moisturizing. It has nourishing fatty acids, which along with water, is the main ingredient in most moisturizers on the market.
It also has many skin benefits you may not be aware of-
Treating Wrinkles
Rosehip Oil is packed with anti-inflammatory fatty acids and vitamins A and C.
These ingredients help to treat the signs of aging and pigmentation, hydrate skin and repair damaged skin, and provide a strong protective antioxidant boost.
Brightening Skin
Some sharper properties in rosehip oil help tighten pores and brighten your skin, which means adding Rosehip oil to your skincare routine is great if your skin needs a little brightening up. Always start with a small amount and build it up.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation occurs when excess melanin forms dark spots or patches on the skin. This can happen for a number of reasons including-
- sun exposure
- hormonal changes, like pregnancy and menopause
- certain medications
Rosehip oil is rich in vitamin A. One nutritional compound that makes up Vitamin A is retinoids. Regular use of retinoids are known for their ability to reduce hyperpigmentation and other visible signs of aging.
Scaring
Rosehip Oil contains the beauty ingredient trio anti-inflammatory fatty acids and super skin vitamins A and C — making this oil a potential solution for fading any facial scars or previous acne scaring.
Together these ingredients help to undo and prevent discolouration and help the skin re-build collagen.
